One muppet on the sign, one muppet on the way to the London office to meet the boss & colleagues in 3D & REALLY get stuck into training! XD

Photo of me in a green top, grey backpack straps over my shoulders, behind me an LNER sign with a female coded muppet with red hair in a black leather jacket smiling & looking to the right, which is also at me

Because you NEED those different experiences from multiple cultures, genders & points of view coming together: questioning is this right? Working the problem for MAGIC to happen :)

I (AB) selected this one not just because the protagonist IS a woman and a scientist being discounted for multiple reasons, but because it was knowledge garnered through womanly interactions and experiences (also important)that saved the day when logic and mathematics didn’t quite work in real time.

Did you know that today (second Tuesday in October) is Ada Lovelace Day? It’s an annual event that celebrates the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

Why not celebrate by listening to one of our faves like www.castofwonders.org/2022/01/cast...

I read somewhere that the closer the web tines are to each other, the harsher the winter is likely to be. I just can’t remember WHARE I read it 🙃

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 1d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk. Green is happily relaxed, but Blue is alerted by something approaching.
Green: What a lovely day for a walk!
Blue: Look out, a fast cyclist is coming.

An extremely fast, unidentified fox on a bicycle zips past Blue and Green, who turn to look at the cyclist with mild confusion.
Cyclist: Hello, boys!
Blue and Green, in unison: Hi?

Once the cyclist is gone, Blue and Green turn to look at each other in confusion.
Green: Do you have any idea who that was?
Blue: Nope.
Green: Me neither.

The foxes shrug it off and continue their walk.
Green: Just overcome by the unparalleled thrill of being an old man on a bicycle, I guess.
Blue: Yep.

The incredibly rare giant furry inchworm in his natural habitat

Charlie, a brindle corgi, stretched out flat and floppy on the back of a plushy orange sofa. He looks like a legless worm with giant ears. How does he balance up there? Nobody knows.

The travel poster looked like so many others. A lush forest behind a serene beach. The text said "Be something exotic!"

"Sorry, there's a typo on your poster. I think you mean 'somewhere'?"

"No. We can make you to be, say, a bear, tiger, or hippo, for up to a week."

"A hippo? Tell me more!"
